Bonnyrigg Town Centre Activation Program - 2025/2026

Bonnyrigg Town Centre is a unique place of cultural unity and diversity; it is the embodiment of a modern multicultural community.  It is a place that is waiting to be discovered by locals and visitors alike.  Its community provides an experience where people are engaged and empowered, who share their knowledge freely and are supportive in building a culture of understanding that extends far beyond the Town Centre of Bonnyrigg.

One-off grants of up to $3,500 (excluding GST) are available to assist in delivering activities and events within the Bonnyrigg Town Centre. Each year, Council receives more applications than it can fund, therefore this is a competitive grants program.
